My question is simple, I often wear shirts with no pockets so I will need to carry a recorder in my pants pocket, how do you think the sound will be and how do you carry your recorder?
Common alternatives to shirt pocket carry are a) on a lanyard around your neck, under your shirt, b) in a spare magazine holder, and c) cell phone or PDA holder. I use a shortened lanyard all the time. I would not carry in a pants pocket for multiple reasons: the sound will not be good and there is always the chance something might hit one of the recorder's buttons, interrupting the recording. Why don't you stick your recorder in your pants pocket and walk around Meijer or Home Depot, then listen to the recording when you get back home? That will tell you how well it works for you.My question is simple, I often wear shirts with no pockets so I will need to carry a recorder in my pants pocket, how do you think the sound will be and how do you carry your recorder?

But since the whole idea behind a recording is to get the best, clearest audio of an encounter, you want the best position for it. One alternative is if you decide to carry in your pants pocket, you could use a remote mic. That could probably simply be clipped to the top corner of your pocket. It wouldn't necessarily have to go up your shirt to your lapel.

I have a small digital recorder that rests on my upper chest, just below my collar line out of view. I hang it with a cell phone lanyard attached to a necklace, material that any craft store carries.
Excellent position for sound pick-up, and not dependent on the shirt I'm wearing over it. I can wear anything from t-shirts to golf-shirts to dress-shirts with pockets. Doesn't matter. As long as I've got my neck, I'm in business.
Sounds convenient. What model if you don't mind.
Standard issue Red Neck would be my best guess.

Are you kidding me (us)?zippered/cigarette pockets on the sleeves.
